Such a cool little spot! The owner is really welcoming and the acts they had on were so good. It really captures what Brighton is about – it’s open minded, quirky and fun – I’ll definitely be back!
Your favourite Jewish, Australia, cancer-survivor with one testicle is coming to Brighton with lots to say about the state of the world.
Michael Shafar has done heaps of TV and radio in Australia, but you probably haven’t seen any of that because you live in the UK, and also because traditional media is dead anyway.
Since moving to London last year, he has quickly become one of the hottest new acts on the UK circuit, performing at the country’s biggest clubs and selling out his show at the Edinburgh Fringe.
He has 100,000+ followers on social media and had 80+ million views on his videos over the last year. He also had three death threats, so you know he’s funny. In this boundary-pushing show, Michael will weigh into the culture wars that most comedians are smart enough to avoid.
‘A wildly inventive, darkly comic imagination.’ ★★★★★ The Edinburgh Reporter
‘Shafar circumnavigates the line between edgy and offensive with beautiful finesse.’ ★★★★½ The Age
‘He’s a brand of comedian that is getting rarer and rarer to come by these days, and if you’re among those who fear comedy has gotten too politically correct, this show will put those fears to rest.’ ★★★★ Time Out
